- Vehicle settings;
- Connectivity settings;
- Audio;
- XSM Radio and weather services;
- Phoning functionality.
Challenges
This project aimed to develop a car multimedia system centered around a single display, which had been initiated nine months prior to the hardware Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) phase. The scope encompassed redesigning the user interface, utilizing Qt/QML, and ensuring consistent visual branding across all car models. Andersen's team focused on several key tasks, including crafting a robust software architecture, establishing a vehicle communication framework (including simulation tools), and developing essential applications using Qt/QML on top of the QNX platform.
Project overview
As a result of our engagement, the customer obtained everything that is necessary for next-gen intelligent vehicles.
